Kazakhstan in World War II Mobilisation and Ethnicity in the Soviet Empire (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Roberto J. Carmack provides an in-depth analysis of Kazakhstan's role during World War II, emphasizing military conscription, economic mobilization, propaganda, and deportation. The author argues that this period significantly accelerated Kazakhstan's integration into the Soviet Union, leading to increased ethnic and social disparities. Although the book thoroughly critiques Soviet narratives and compiles extensive archival sources, it faces criticism for not including post-independence Kazakh scholarship, which could offer additional insights into the wartime experiences of Kazakh soldiers.
